CSS Books

Although you can work your way through tutorials online or even just learn from other peoples code the best way to learn is through studying the language from start to finish via books dedicaded to CSS and HTML. Here are my favourites listed below

CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition, provides you with a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a thorough review of all aspects of CSS 2.1. Updated to cover Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft’s vastly improved browser, this new edition includes content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more.

Almost 500 pages of CSS help, with more than 100 pages of practical tutorials to guide you through the process of implementing and refining CSS to save you many a wasted hour. At $23, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better guide to designing with CSS.

Need to learn HTML fast? This best-selling reference’s visual format and step-by-step, task-based instructions will have you up and running with HTML in no time. In this completely updated edition of our best-selling guide to HTML, Web expert and best-selling author Elizabeth Castro uses crystal-clear instructions and friendly prose to introduce you to all of today’s HTML and XHTML essentials.

This book will be aimed towards intermediate web designers/developers although the examples should be simple enough for novice designers/developers with a basic understanding of CSS to follow along with. This book is likely to have a broad appeal, attracting intermediate developers wanting to improve their skills as well as advanced developers wanting a useful reference.

jQuery Books

jQuery is a javascript framework which is amazingly powerful. It simplifies javascript and lets you learn how to make amazing effects quickly. The popularity of jQuery throughout the internet is increasing at an alarming rate. Get learning quick!

My favourite jQuery book of the lot. It gives an amazingly detailed tutorial on getting started with jQuery and taking it to more advanced levels. If it wasn’t for this book I probably wouldn’t be using any jQuery on my website and unable to do the tutorials and experiments I do on this website.

At over 400 pages long this book packs a punch. I have read endless good reviews about this book and what people have learned from it. Don’t believe me? Check out the reviews on amazon. Highly recommended.

jQuery in Action offers a rich investigation of the up-and-coming jQuery library for client-side JavaScript. This book covers all major features and capabilities in a manner focused on getting the reader up and running with jQuery from the very first sections. Web Developers reading this book will gain a deep understanding of how to use jQuery to simplify their pages and lives, as well as learn the philosophy behind writing jQuery-enhanced pages..
